I would disagree, the rafale probes are no different to the PAK-FA ones, the only difference is a fairing that connects the pak fa probe to the front of the cockpit.
I don't think these arguments hold any water, and I don't appreciate you thinking a team of people who make supersonic jets...
I think you take this personally. I don't know how big the IRST probe appears to a radar, but on the other hand you have to think in terms of the russian engineers having a tiny bit of brain too.
if a 12 year old geek from his mums basement can see the IRST, and ***** about it, I guess an...
perhaps .. but right now noone has made a widely produced and used dielectric control surface. There must be a reason for it.
And although I do believe the strides the chinese industry is making, I don't think they have gotten to the point where they made such a material.
Good videos man. thanks
The question I guess still remains. Is there any info (more) in chinese news if the plane is after all a fighter like the F-15 say or a strike plane like the F-15E ?
I don't think so, the canards on the J-20 are the primary control surfaces. They can't be locked into place. At least I don't see the way

Or perhaps even with this....
because others have discovered...
you are looking at this the wrong way.
Any of the carriers on the list except the russian and the american ones would be sunk easily by the turkish airforce.
A big carrier is a liability in the mediterranean. If turkey desires a blue water navy then it should get at least two carriers...
i want to make clear to the Chinese members that it is not the J-20 we have problem with, it is martians unhealthy fascination with it that is the problem
Canards locked in place?? i don't think so...
Since you are so nice pointing out the deficiencies of other designs, perhaps we should point out some of the things that don't
add up with your magnificent theories.
first of all assuming the canards are ok for stealth we need to move to...
That doesn't take away the fact that in engineering terms, his comments and arguments are found wanting and at least I as an engineer cannot let him do that. It is unethical.
The amount of work it takes for a plane from paper design to the point where it can get off the ground is mind...
Hard not to. He reminds me of that southpark episode "0 friends" i think it was called about facebook.
The point however is here that we have a twisted mentality. Basic engineering principles and rules are not respected in favour of simple estimations based on visual inspections of...
